Future aircraft will likely become increasingly classified and opaque.I believe that it would be better for the future if we stopped having double standards and established unified standards now.That being said, in my understanding, Golden Eagle meant 2040. AESA was a separate upgrade and what was implemented in the game was not Golden Eagle.
In my personal opinion the F-15C GE feels like an in between plane. Imo it’s too weak in it’s current state to be placed at 14.3 while it might also be on the stronger side of 14.0.
Which is why they should give it some buffs and make it 14.3 worthy.

Fully agree
Check my post here, I go into more details as to what’s what.
In short:
AMBER racks were only proposed, never made.(Even Boeing advertises the F-15EX as 12 AMRAAM max on their website, not more)
F-15C Golden Eagle: No MRML
F-15C 2040C: MRML + AMBER rack. Only a proposal, not even a test flight.
F-15EX: Only MRML(so far, maybe AMBER rack in the future?)

Ok, that’s very helpful. I’ve been confused ever since it was leaked.If it was going to be this confusing, they should have just implemented the F15EX and F15ERMP from the start.I wish everyone was as rational and logical as you are.

Thanks :)
And yeah, I agree, it’s super confusing. They should have added the F-15EX to counter the Rafale. The Golden Eagle as they added it is a very strange choice. Mind you, it could be good if they give it more features like BOLS, IRST, and better missiles but right now it’s not 14.3 worthy.
Also if you’re interested, here’s the F-15C 2040C cockpit from Boeing commercial:
And here are all of the existing F-15s cockpit. The cockpit of the Golden Eagle is the third one in the F-15C row, that’s also the cockpit it has in the Dev Server. MSIP in live server has the second cockpit. As you can see, the F-15C 2040C has a cockpit very similar to the EX while the Golden Eagle doesn’t.

Seems we’re on the same page. I completely agree. If only they’d reverted the AMRAAM back to its original DEV state, everything would’ve been resolved, and we could just wait for the next update with the latest GEN4.5 like the F15EX.

thats not evidence enought to prove that the SU-30SM used them, because there is not a single piece of evidenced showing that.
And, as you said yourself, if a aircraft is in service it should only use the loadout it uses in service. Where’s the evidence for the dual rack SU-30SM?

All these considerations are shattered by the fact that
Firstly, this is still the outermost F-15EX pylon, which is objectively working
Secondly, we have Su-30 and Su-27 with pylons that are not only not integrated, but generally physically cannot fit.
The decision is for the gaijin. I wouldn’t be surprised if they just end up adding a double pylon if the stats aren’t very good
and MRML is very much real and in service on F15EX
for some reason gaijin can add those double pylons to SU27S but not do what we know for a fact is possible and was planned and add MRML to the F15C

even if aim 120 is buffed this will just be fighting the buffed aim 120 too, and still be lacking compared to the other top tier options
not even, they linked to a report on amber instead of responding about MRML, pretty sure the bug report manager didnt read it
I had 2 reports. You can find in the f15 thread
I saw both and neither should have been denied
first was as I said
the second the guy responded to someone in the comments without even reading the report itself
Well, I’ve heard enough already. I don’t see the point in reports about adding something at all.
I’m not interested in these at all. I only care about when the map can be expanded to 256 kilometers or even larger. On the current map, the F15C simply cannot sprint to a sufficient speed and fight.

Mate f15c is outright shelved, amber racks have more hopes of ever being in service than golden eagle did.
I don’t really want amber racks as I would much prefer fixed missiles, but that is a bad argument when kh38mt exists
why not both
there are two F-15C’s called golden eagle
you are talking about the F-15 2040C rn which never eneterd service
the F-15C golden eagle we have ingame is from the early 2000s
